Please help with my slant!!!!

[bobit]

Hi guys, was wondering if I can pick you brains for a second. When I hung my springs, I get the natural backwards slant of the springs. Well when I bolted my rear end to it and lowered by trucks, I get a nice backwards slant to my rear end ( the square part of the axle housing). Is this normal? Do you guys machine you spacer block between the springs and the rear end at a angle to take this out. Please, any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks David

What springs did you use? Looks like trailer springs, which trailer?

 

[bobit]

M105

How many degrees is it off? Is it just because there is no weight on it?

They finally let him out of the Pokie, or was that rehab?

There goes the neighbor hood.

This doesn't look like a weight issue to me, but I'm no expert. The Bed is not on it yet. The m105 has a circular axle housing, so its not an issue. Angle is in the picture I posted.

I know Hundy has used these axle springs, but don't think this issue was brought up. I would go ahead and make a shim to go between the axle housing and the springs. Looks like 10* I would make the shim 8*.

Thanks gimmpyrob. That was what I was thinking to. That should work good.

Find the spring perch off the front of a deuce. Thats what I used with my 105 springs and it works perfect.

If you use 105 springs and the frame it will sit just fine.

You realize with that set up you will need 3-4" lift blocks. (105 springs mounted to the deuce frame)
